Cody Janowski 12/2/10 English Comp Assignment 4 The Internet has undoubtedly changed the way people live their lives. Any information we could possibly want- and more- is at our disposal, and has made life for us incredibly convenient and easy; some, however, might say too easy. One of these people is Nicholas Carr, author of the article “Is Google Making Us Stupid?” featured in the July/August 2008 edition of The Atlantic. Carr argues that the Net seems to be slowly demolishing our abilities to concentrate on one subject, as well as contemplate information, based on the ease of access to everything the Internet provides today. I agree with Carr to an extent; however I would say that his theory most certainly does not apply to everyone.
And then, the next thing you know is Artic Monkeys or Cansei de Ser Sexy on first place at Billboard List of the most famous internet and worldwide artists ever without spending a penny. So, alternative-indie garage rock is cool, because you can be cool too no matter what or how. ( Take as reference Chris Crocker who become famous worldwilde day by night after his video crying and asking to people to stop bug Britney Spears. Now he is a celebrity on
When we look back on the years gone by we will see that the world for better or worse has changed. The use of social media has increased exponentially in the years since the internet was brought into existence. Public media has made it so That the use of such sites as Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr has allowed a person to never have to actually speak to someone in person or by phone. A person who is hooked on the internet all the time will most likely develop an anti-social problem where he or she will have a fear of having to leave the house and either having to talk to someone or someone even touching
Too much of anything is never a good thing. Negative psychological effects are common in individuals who actively participate on social media for hours on a daily basis. In 2008, UCLA conducted a study which revealed web users had literally altered their prefrontal cortexes due to, in part, to the fast pace of social networking sites rewiring the brain with repeated exposure. “In 2012, Medical News Today reported on a study suggesting that Facebook use may feed anxiety and increase a person's feeling of
Cristina Dumbrique Mr. Miesko Writing 39B 5 December 2013 Writer’s Memo With technology constantly changing in the US, I wanted my audience to realize that just because something new seems good, it can have negative side effects that will not be seen until later. I accomplished this by publishing an article in the commonly read magazine Parenting that is geared towards mothers. I chose to assume the role of the executive editor in order for the audience to see that this information is coming from a reliable source. This article appears in a section of the magazine that reviews new, relevant products and evaluates how safe they are for family oriented use.

Technology today does take away from the personal feelings that pen and paper can convey. Ellen Goodman was correct in her essay “In Praise of a Snail’s Pace” saying that new technology today is taking away from culture.

Technology today makes the way we communicate less personal and blander. We talk to our friends today through a computer screen more than we do face to face sometimes.
As a contemporary American teenager whose life is filled with technology, I find the life described in Huckleberry Finn very different from my own. I wish my life were more like Huckleberry Finn’s at times because things were a lot more relaxed. But I’m very glad that I have the technology that I have today
With Facebook the top social media website you know companies are going to get their ads on there. But Facebook has ages from six to eighty two. So it can swing opinions all over the place. But changing the minds of teenagers who just turned 18 and are allowed to vote now is pretty ridiculous.

School and Safety: Are Guns Really the Answer? Gun control has been a very hot topic lately due to the publicity it’s been getting this last year or so. I put a lot of thought into this subject; I will admit I was on the fence about whether teachers should or should not have guns in school. After researching books, web forums, TV interviews, etc. I do think that it would be almost irresponsible for teachers to have guns.
